This book is for folks who know NOTHING about guitars! If you've always wanted to play but don't have a clue where to start, this is your book! This is the written version of great information I've been teaching people for 10 years. There are lots of beginner guitar books. This one is designed to go with the flow of a beginner's learning rather than a condensed version of a music theory/guitar method class. It contains links to free videos that demonstrate the techniques taught in the book. It also has a link to MoreThanGuitar.com for hundreds of lessons that teach you to play great songs. Come on; get started making music!
